Chapter 112 Xianglefang
The residence of Li Sanjian, the Tongyi Doctor of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, the Bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and the Qin Fenglu Strategic Pacification Envoy.
"Husband, I will discuss something with you."
In the attic of Chen Yingluo, Li Sanjian's new concubine, Chen Yingluo was sore all over. She lay on the bed, gasping slightly, and said to Li Sanjian with an orchid breath.
A long separation is better than a newlywed, not to mention that Li Sanjian and Chen Yingluo were newlyweds, but after the wedding night, Li Sanjian was ordered to go to Khitan. The two of them separated for as long as half a year. Therefore, Li Sanjian was like a wolf or a tiger on this night, and he tossed Chen Yingluo for most of the night, until the third o'clock, and the rain disappeared.
"What's the matter? Can't you say it tomorrow?" Chen Yingluo felt sore and tired all over. Li Sanjian was the same, and asked with his eyes stretched out.
"My husband will rush to Shaanxi soon. I am afraid that I will not be able to find anyone to discuss it." Chen Yingluo said a little aggrievedly.
Li Sanjian was unable to bring his family when he went to the northwest to become an official.
However, after Li Sanjian left his mother, wife and others in Kaifeng Prefecture as a steward, he could bring one or two concubines to accompany him to serve his daily life. However, Li Sanjian mostly wanted to fight against Xixia when he went to the northwest. Therefore, Chen Yingluo estimated that Li Sanjian would take a concubine to serve his daily life, which must be Cai Yingxue, the fourth wife who had excellent martial arts skills, and it would never be her.
"Okay, okay, Yingluo..." Li Sanjian turned over, hugged Chen Yingluo in his arms and said, "If you have anything, just say it, Li listen carefully."
"Dad and the others sent me a letter not long ago, planning to move most of the family's transactions to Kaifeng Prefecture. What do you think, husband?" Chen Yingluo leaned into Li Sanjian's arms and asked softly.
Chen Yingluo married to the Li family in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo. Chen Yingluo's father Chen Yide and others had two intentions. One was to enjoy the cool under the big tree. Li Sanjian was an official in the court and could take care of one or two. The second intention was to use the power of his mother's family to help Chen Yingluo.
As someone else's concubine, if you don't have the confidence to be a powerful mother, you will be bullied to death.
"No, absolutely not!" Li Sanjian was shocked when he heard this, sat up from the bed, looked at Chen Yingluo, and said in a frustration: "Your father is a maritime merchant, not doing business along the coast, so why are you here to join in the capital?"
The Jurchens rebelled against Liao and destroyed Liao. They would soon attack Song, and then they would face the city of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and Kaifeng Prefecture would become a piece of rubble. Therefore, Chen Yide and others moved most of the transactions to Kaifeng Prefecture at this time. Wouldn't it be destroyed? He sent himself to his door.
.
.
"Husband, Daddy... it's yours, too..." Chen Yingluo felt a sense of frustration when she heard this, and was still a little sad. She asked in a low voice with tears in her eyes: "Are you afraid that Daddy and the others will drag you down?"
"I... you... misunderstood your husband." Li Sanjian had something to say, so he had to say to Chen Yingluo: "Yingluo, as long as it is a legitimate transaction, how can you drag it down? Your father... Lord Taishan wants to move the transaction to Kaifeng Prefecture, so why continue to do business in Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places. It's a long way to go back and forth, why bother? Why bother to get tired of the people and money? Or this is better, Lord Taishan is a maritime businessman, and wants to expand his home business. In addition to Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places, he can expand to Hangzhou, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Mingzhou, Changzhou and others, and even move all the transactions in Quanzhou to the above states, but you need to entrust your home to your home.
Letters must not cross the river, especially the Huai River."
"I...I..." Chen Yingluo opened her big eyes and stared at Li Sanjian in a daze, not understanding Li Sanjian's intentions.
"Haha" Li Sanjian saw Chen Yingluo's suspicious look, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your father... uh... Lord Taishan is a maritime businessman. He said that he can rely on the mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. Only by getting close to the water can your family's business flourish. Do you understand? Whether you understand or not, just do it according to my words, Li will never endanger my dear wife."
"I am according to my husband's words." Chen Yingluo nodded and said yes after hearing this.
But even though that is the case, Chen Yingluo is still half-believing and half-doubled. There are not a few maritime merchants doing business in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there are many rivers near Kaifeng Prefecture and are well-connected. Why can't maritime merchants do business near Kaifeng Prefecture? They can't cross the Huai River and the Yangtze River?

"My husband, ladies, why are you here?
In a workshop in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, Song Dynasty, early in the morning, Tian Xiaoyi, who was guarding the door, opened the door and saw his wife, Li Sanjian and his wives, and came to the "Xianglefang" together, and asked dizzyly.
Tian Xiaoyi is the distant nephew of Zhai Liu, the old man in Li's house, so he became a guardian in the "Xianglefang".
The "Xianglefang", the industry in which Li's family produces perfume, has a booming business and earning money every day, so the salary offered is extremely generous. Tian Xiaoyi is just a janitor of the workshop, and his salary is several times higher than that of others.
According to the Song system, court officials were not allowed to do business to avoid competing for profit with the people. However, this provision is basically a decoration. The officials of the Song Dynasty did business, and the "officials and commerce" that arise from the "officials and commerce" were relatively common. The courts of the Song Dynasty turned a blind eye to this and only punished one or two people when it was too much. This was a law that could not help.
Of course, Li Sanjian also knew the disadvantages of officials doing business and competing with the people for the advantages and disadvantages. Of course, he also knew that "officials and businessmen" were hindering the administration of officials, harming the style of scholars, and harming reputation, but Li Sanjian was helpless at the moment.
At present, Li Sanjian wants to support a family, and it is not enough to rely solely on his salary. The most important thing is that Li Sanjian wants to support his disciples, provide them with some research, research equipment, gunpowder, etc., such as the "Weapon Fire House" next to the "Xiangle House".
"Xianglefang" is a huge source of wealth and a daily income, but "Qihuofang" has almost no income. The raw materials, craftsmen, etc. all need to be provided by Li's house, and it is a completely profitable workshop.
For the great event that is about to happen and for the country and country of the Song Dynasty, Li Sanjian had no choice but to do so, and he would have a chance in the future.
.
.
Let’s talk about it if you have the chance in the future, Li Sanjian said in his heart.
"Xiao Yi, how dare you, you, the madam, talk to your husband and wife like this? Why don't you kneel down and apologize?" Zhai Liu, who accompanied Li Sanjian and his wives, was furious when he saw this. He wished he could slash at Tian Xiaoyi and cursed.
Don’t say that “Xianglefang” was originally Li Sanjian’s property, just talk about the male owner of the mansion, the Song Dynasty Tongyi Doctor, the Longtu Pavilion Bachelor, Qin Fenglu Strategic Pacification Envoy Li Sanjian and his wife arrived in person. How dare Tian Xiaoyi ask such a question?
The so-called "one person has attained enlightenment, a chicken and a dog have ascended to heaven, and the rise and fall of a family is mainly based on the male protagonist's confusion.
What's going on? At this time, Li Sanjian was a fourth-rank official in the court and was famous all over the world. He was also honored to be a servant in Zhai Liu and other servants.
"Oh, Lao Zhai..." Li Sanjian waved his hand and smiled, "No need to forget him, Li just came to take a look."
"Xianglefang" has made so much money for the Li family, and Li Sanjian needs to come and see no matter what happens. So today, he has nothing to do, so he brought a group of beautiful wives and concubines to "Xianglefang".
The house rented by "Xianglefang" was originally a house for a wealthy family. This family usually lives in other places and there are several houses in the capital. So after Xu Tingting, Chen Yingluo and others negotiated with them, they rented the house as a perfume production workshop.
Li Sanjian's family had very little savings, and every inch of land in the capital was valuable, and the land price and housing prices were extremely expensive. Therefore, the Li family could not afford such a large house and could only rent it. Of course, after making enough money in the future, it would not be too late to buy a house.
"My husband, please come in, the young lady, I'll call the girls to get up and work now." Tian Xiaoyi slapped himself first, then ran to Li Sanjian and bowed his head and said.
Girls? They still got up to work? They sounded like brothels or kilns. So Li Sanjian looked at Xu Tingting, Lan Yaoyao, and Chen Yingluo with confusion.
"Officials, this is how it is." Xu Tingting replied when she saw this: "Apart from the men who worked hard to invite them, the rest of the workshop are all women. Making perfumes doesn't take much physical strength, so women are enough."
Xu Tingting then looked at Li Sanjian with a smile and said, "There are many girls who were saved by officials back then. Many of them are orphans and have no choice but to make perfumes. In this way, they not only solve their turbulent and displaced problems, but also give the workshop many excellent craftsmen. Officials, Hongjie'er is also among them."
"So good!" Li Sanjian nodded and smiled, "This matter is done well and it is considered very thoroughly."
"I'll settle the score with you later." Li Sanjian then whispered to Xu Tingting, and then walked in first.
When Li Sanjian heard Xu Tingting talk about Hong Jie'er, his mind came to his mind when Li Sanjian was imprisoned by the imperial envoy of the Imperial City Department, a stubborn figure of a water-selling girl.
This is still a reward for her, right? Li Sanjian said in his heart as he walked.
Xu Tingting spat at Li Sanjian and walked into the "Xianglefang" workshop with all the wives.
"Big brother?"
"It's really the big brother!"
"Big brother, you saved me and waited for a while. After that, I thought I would never see you again. I didn't expect to meet again today, wuwu..."
Hong Jie'er, who was already the foreman of the workshop, met with a group of female craftsmen in the workshop. They were all excited when they saw Li Sanjian.
It's okay for the women who didn't know Li Sanjian in the past. The girls who were saved by Li Sanjian have grown up now. How could Li Sanjian not be excited when he saw his benefactors and now gave them a bite of food? Some women even started crying.
Many of them were orphans or were not accepted by their families because of Zhao Han’s humiliation, and had no choice but to live on the streets or even into the dust.
